We need to get it to 99.99%, and then maybe they will all switch to some honest business model!

Exactly.. I was just thinking about making an adblocker that loads the actual ads in a fake environment, it could really simulate the ad industry to look for other ways because it costs them too much money.

Reddit already has an 'honest' business model (awards) and people rage about that all day too.

I think mostly people just want the service but dont want to pay for it in any way.

Agreed. Premium is fine. On another note, I dislike the coins and award system because it reminds me of gacha. They provide you free award to make you open the app every week or two and encourage you to buy and award more through various shady methods. Counters, notifications that don't exist, subs you are not subscribed to getting thrown in your feed, etc.
